The Workflow Patterns initiative is a joint effort of Eindhoven University of Technology (led by Professor Wil van der Aalst , now at RWTH Aachen) and Queensland University of Technology (led by Professor Arthur ter Hofstede ) which started in 1999. The aim of this initiative is to provide a conceptual basis for process technology. In particular, the research provides a thorough examination of the various perspectives (control flow, data, resource, and exception handling) that need to be supported by a work
On this web site you will find detailed descriptions of patterns for the various perspectives relevant for process-aware information systems: control-flow, data, resource, exception handling and event log imperfections. In addition you will find detailed evaluations of various process languages, (proposed) standards for web service compositions, and workflow systems in terms of this patterns.
We encourage interactions with interested parties about this research and its applications. For example, vendors can provide self-assessments of evaluations of their products (see the Vendors Corner ). Also, we appreciate any feedback in relation to our evaluations (e.g. errors or inaccuracies).
